Remake will be better than my 'Hero': Ghai

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 May, 2015 11:14 AM
  • Remake will be better than my 'Hero': Ghai
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai is positive that the remake of his 1983 directorial “Hero” will be better than the original.
 
Produced by superstar Salman Khan, the remake is being directed by Nikhil Advani. It will mark the debut of Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. 
 
What are Ghai’s expectations from the remake?
 
"The film is from Nikhil Advani's vision under the supervision of Salman (Khan). I am hoping and confident that this remake will be better than my 'Hero',” said Ghai. 
 
Ghai also said that he is not contributing to the remake of "Hero".
 
"When Salman asked me about the partnership for the remake of 'Hero', I said ‘I can give you the rights of that film. But, the vision will be yours and your director's. Neither I will contribute to it nor I will interfere because you will make the film as today's vision and if I will interfere in it I will put my old vision’," he said.
 
"I have not even seen a single still of the film,” he added.
 
The film is set to release on July 3. It also stars Govinda, Anita Hassanandani, Vinod Khanna and Kader Khan.
